Preston and the Community


Buy Local, Buy Preston
When you buy from the Preston Auto Group, you are helping and investing in our local community! Never has it ever been so important to invest in our community. It helps to rest assured that when you buy from Prestons, a large portion of the money you spend gets reinvested back into our area through taxes, jobs, and charities. Preston proudly employs over 350 area residents, that's several of your family, friends, and neighbors. Not to mention the fact that we sponsors with some of the area's and nation's most reputable charities such as the Salvation Army, United Way, and Toys for Tots. Check out our full list of charitable partners to the right.
Preston Chambers YMCA Y-Zone
Robert L. Preston III and his wife Joanne C. Preston, owners of the Preston Auto Group, led the capital campaign for the New Castle Community YMCA Y-Zone. In fact the Preston Auto Group donated $600,000 into this dream and into our community to make the Y-Zone a reality. This sports facility and campus is complete with an indoor soccer field, two regulation basketball courts, fitness and wellness room, batting cage, and two tournament-rated volleyball courts. The sportszone serves the western PA area, which includes Sharon, Beaver Valley, Pittsburgh, Butler, Meadville, and Cranberry areas. The Y-Zone provides a means for under privileged area youth to not only stay fit, but also out of trouble. The Preston Auto Group has donated over 50 memberships to such youths.
